April 26, 2017 at 5:28am Reply, Andy: Not related to Portrait of a Lady, but I want to thank you, Janet, for mentioning Creepy Crawlers! If they follow the Tom Ford Private Blend example, then it won’t be any easier to find than it is now (or maybe, slightly easier depending where you’re). My impression is burning hot! And now that I’m thinking about it, I can remember those toxic smelling fumes almost exactly–which is remarkable given this is a memory that hasn’t surfaced for years. There was a sweet, powerful, toxic, braincell-destroying odor from mixing and heating the goo in the metal trays. November 13, 2014 at 12:42pm Reply, spe: Oh, yes, challenging it is – as you write – with regard to both composition and dosage! Victoria: What’s really fascinating is how our tastes evolve. November 14, 2014 at 6:45pm Reply. I love PoaL but the love affair was not immediate – the opening was intriguing, but it was the drydown that got me. November 13, 2014 at 2:30pm Reply, Ann: Mine wouldn’t dare ask me to wash something off… but he’s damned Wrappings with faint praise on a few occasions. The incense starts softly, with a few smoky whispers, but after a couple of hours, the curtain of smoke thickens. I have another experience with this perfume.

It’s fun reading what people are doing – another wonderful aspect of BdeJ! Replies to my comments November 14, 2014 at 6:58pm Reply, Victoria: Same here! Dominique Ropion composed an oriental rose, based on an accord of benzoin, cinnamon, sandalwood, and, above all patchouli, musk and frankincense. I have tried Lumiere Noir Pour Femme, and I think that it’s also in the same category as PoaL, dark and dramatic. Aurora: Ah yes I understand you, it’s never good news that an innovative and creative entity is swallowed up like this and, all things being equal, this is why I am very protective of Hermes and buy as well as love their perfumes in the fear that one day LVMH will take over. I tested PoaL sometime ago and the two most prominent notes on my skin were rose and patchouli. November 13, 2014 at 12:54pm Reply, Victoria: I admit that I didn’t compare, but I’d say, it’s up there. November 13, 2014 at 4:20pm Reply, Victoria: If you dose it carefully, it’s really one of the most beautiful dark woody scents.

December 1, 2014 at 12:01am Reply, Victoria: I haven’t compared side by side, but I always don’t want to, because I like the current version very much as it is. These cover almost the same spot for me. I don’t own any full bottles, but have EP, Une Rose, Lipstick Rose, and L’Eau d’Hiver in the travel sizes. window.location = "/apps/giftregistry/wishlist?id=" + id; I can’t imagine them staying the same. Sometimes AG Rose Absolue or Crabtree & Evelyn are just perfect and there are days when nothing but Agent Provocateur would do.

Passed by a perfume shop, Madison, went inside and had a wonderful time trying this and that but fell head over heels for Portrait.

November 13, 2014 at 12:21pm Reply, Victoria: I also get lots of patchouli and woods out of it, and rose plays a relatively minor role after the first hour. Makes for great scent connected memories. Don't subscribe For those who are wondering about the longevity of the current batch, PoaL lasts much longer on me than any other Malle fragrance, except maybe Carnal Flower. That’s a lot of teeth to lose. I don’t know how the brand is going to be treated once it’s part of Lauder, but while I doubt that they will do something to decrease the quality, the prices are bound to increase. My challenge is the strong cumin/armpit phase. “To maintain our steady annual growth, we are driving our portfolio on two main fronts. I prefer the drydown, though. Nowadays I simply can’t handle them, and am increasingly sensitive to patchouli. April 26, 2017 at 5:25am Reply, Qwendy: PS I totally forgot to say how delighted I was to remember Creepy Crawlers!!! I prefer Fate by Amouage which is also a little bit of an oriental chypre with great sillage. Best wishes!! Maybe worth stocking up on if prices are likely to go high… November 14, 2014 at 6:38am Reply. The truth is that the fragrance industry is very globalized and creating different blends for different countries just doesn’t make sense financially, unless you’re Chanel and can afford to have your own plants in different countries. Do you suggest stocking up if one can afford to? November 13, 2014 at 7:21pm Reply, Ariadne: ROFLH! We won't share you address with anyone. Figuier: Thanks for the review, Victoria – you’ve confirmed my (admittedly superficial) impression that PoaL is *immense*. I asked the name of her perfume– it was Portrait of a Lady.

It “started in the shower” when he was using Geranium Pour Monsieur shower gel and he loved the drydown so he gave the shower gel to Ropion: “I gave one to Dominique and said, “Wash yourself and see how nice it is.

You got around to reviewing it. November 17, 2014 at 1:04pm Reply, Victoria: I know, I find it hard to keep it all straight… November 24, 2014 at 12:59pm Reply, Mary: POAL reminds me of my Middle Eastern Grandma and her mysterious closet. It’s heavy, dramatic and has a tendency to wear you out. Aida was wonderful, was the Zeffirelli production so cast of thousands and even my husband (who accompanies his adoring wife but is not *quite* an opera fan) enjoyed the spectacle, oops I mean show! Please login. PoaL is a perfume I like to keep around, but I don’t really need more than a small decant. Will it allow Malle to keep creating (like Tom Ford) or will it go more mass appeal (like Jo Malone)?
